Area Calculations: Squares, Rectangles, Circles, Triangles, and Compound Shapes

Slide 1 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Learning Objective
At the end of the lesson, you will be able to calculate the area of squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, and compound shapes.

Slide 2 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

What do you already know about calculating the area of different shapes?

Slide 3 - Woordweb

Area of Squares
The area of a square can be calculated using the formula: 
Area = side length x side length

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Area of Rectangles
The area of a rectangle can be calculated using the formula: Area = length x width

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Area of Circles
The area of a circle can be calculated using the formula: Area = π x (radius x radius)

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Area of Triangles
The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: Area = (base x height) / 2

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Compound Shapes
Compound shapes can be divided into simpler shapes, and the areas of the individual shapes can be calculated and then added together to find the total area.

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Practice Problems
Solve practice problems involving squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, and compound shapes to reinforce understanding.

Slide 9 - Tekstslide

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Slide 12 - Open vraag

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.
Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Slide 13 - Open vraag

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.
Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

Slide 14 - Open vraag

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
